Half of imperial villa premises in Tochigi to open to public
TOKYO, Japan - Photo taken May 2000 and provided by the Tochigi Prefectural Museum shows a beech forest near the Seishintei rest place in the grounds of the Nasu Imperial Villa in Tochigi Prefecture. The Imperial Household Agency and the Environment Ministry said June 19 that they will permanently open to the public nearly half of the 1,200-hectare estate, possibly beginning in fiscal 2011, in response to Emperor Akihito's suggestion that it be used as a place where people can have contact with nature.
